In this riveting documentary, the legendary Bill Moyers chronicles the lives of two blue-collar families, one black and one white, over a 20-year period, as they struggle to pursue the American dream in the face of job losses in the declining industrial city of Milwaukee. Their poignant stories give a human face to the effects of inequality, globalization, and radical changes to the job market. Professor Peter Kingstone and Dr. Antonine Rogers will lead a discussion after the film. Tickets are going fast, so don’t delay!

It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating President Obama's second presidential victory. Well, it's that time again in the election cycle where we must come together to work to get another Democrat in the White House. We might be an ocean apart and a few time zones away but Americans abroad play an important role in getting out the vote.

The next Democratic presidential primary debate will be the last before the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary, giving Hillary Clinton, Martin O'Malley and Bernie Sanders a chance to stake out their positions before the voting begins. Join your fellow Democrats for Democrat Abroad UK's screening of this debate on Tuesday, January 19th, 7:00 p.m. at the Sports Bar Marylebone in London.
